The rich have enoughto keep accumulating wealth while the poor wallow in poverty barely affording necessities
In reality the "save" and "invests" bar should be over a million times bigger and the "earns" bar much smaller
if you consider rich the wealthiest top 5% of americans, than the poor bars would be pretty hard to make out. if you consider it the wealthiest top 1% it would probably be a thin line of pixels on the screen. and if you're looking at billionaire wealth, the relative poor wealth would be invisible.
Wait a minute, you don't spend $17.2M a year on candy crush microtransactions? Somebody who is good at economy please help me, my family is dying.
So they're saying everyone earns the same amount. Let's make it happen.
Edit I know that's not communism. Equal wages make society an abstract capitalist or something.
The rich have the privilege of saving money. Being poor is very expensive.
Ah yes, rich people are rich simply because they spend their money smarter and more sparingly, which definitely explains their megamansions, yachts, and private jets. And if they're just talking about "average" rich people, most of them still buy shit without a second thought about how it impacts them financially. But no, dirty poors are the issue for having a netflix subscription instead of putting that money into stocks,
"To the capitalist, every luxury of the worker seems to be reprehensible, and everything that goes beyond the most abstract need – be it in the realm of passive enjoyment, or a manifestation of activity – seems to him a luxury." -Marx
uhh yeah cuz the poor earn shit and have to spend it in order to not starve to death
This saying everyone is considered rich, equally so, at the moment they’re paid
Ouhhhhhhhhhh. I see. I’m spending too much of the already barely subsistence they allow me for selling my labor. I’m not taking the time to make sure those successful chunks measure out equally so that way the chart makes sense
